So will this be another one of those wonderful instances where one mod says a thread is horrible but lets it go, another mod jumps in and plays along, then a third mod comes in and locks it down? Those are always fun and don't show any inconsistency at all.

Stay care.

Gart said"you uhhhhh, don't understand statistics, do you?," and you responded by saying: "You mean other than the degree I have in it?" Now you seem to be suggesting that you didn't major in statistics, you just fail utterly at English.

And for the record, you don't want to start comparing our credentials when it comes to achievements in mathematics. If it's going to be that kind of dick-waving contest, then you better have a clean up crew ready to pick up all the stuff that gets knocked over once I pull mine out.

Rename thread to "Math Geek Braggart Brawl"

Well... I'm hoping it has a chance to get back on track but at this moment it doesn't look that way >.>

I'll continue by saying that the WL has made USA Pro a bit obsolete, as its old USP was the fact that it was supposedly the pinnacle of GLB competition. Now that it isn't, its just a hard pro league to play in and people aren't drawn to it like they used to be. Now all the talent just wants to be in WL, regardless of what region they came from.

USAPL IS DED IN THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

True, and it's not like CPL hasn't followed a similar path. Having 7 teams from USAPL in the World League can't help but have an effect. The more teams that are up here, the more lackluster the region they left behind.

fat chance at that. If your math skills are anywhere near as poor as your reading comprehension (and they seem to be if you don't know the obvious flaws in means and medians), then my 5 year old could out do you...in both math and dick waving.

True, but the OP was about the USAPL teams that are IN WL.

Why are they now underperforming, compared to past seasons and hype?

Now that all the statuswhores that used to demand in the recruiting forums "I will only play for a USA Pro league" are rolling with "I will only play for a World League team," USA Pro has also lost some of the inherent name-brand advantage they once enjoyed.

Didn't we already cover the fact that you should steer clear of the whole English thing?

Multiple people have tried to give you a clue about where you went wrong. Obviously none have succeeded.

Well the teams in the World League don't seem to be so bad. CB & Lincoln are doing quite well, while Nashville is also respectable. Monmouth and Cincy just hit decline and didn't get strong enough dots to replace their old roster.

you should have stuck with "well, this thread is horrible"

That's because none have tried. All I've seen is fail math about average levels. I've suggested that is irrelevant and asked you the math whiz to explain why, but you clearly aren't up to it.

Hint: While levels may appear ordinal, they are not linear in their relationship to one another, i.e. a lvl 60 <> 2 lvl 30s. A lvl 66 isn't 10% > than a lvl 60. Therefore, you can't average them. There is more to it than that, but that's a good place to start.

If you want to impress me with all your reputed knowledge, then do something constructive like show me how you would index levels into real numbers that can be added, subtracted, averaged, or otherwise manipulated. Otherwise, just admit you're a troll and slither away.
